Removing stains

What is the best thing to remove stains on white fiberglass near the water line. This boat has been moored in a freshwater river full of mud and pollutants. Tried scouring powder, and it could not do a complete job.

Barkeeper's Friend brand cleanser... contains oxalic acid and works miracles. Use gloves. Stanley

Sound good, although I never saw the stuff. Where can you buy it?

In most Supermarkets, in the cleaning section, next to the Comet and Ajax etc. It is also used to clean stainless steel. Reginald

I have used On/Off Hull Cleaner and it works well. It's for fiberglass only, but it works great. Rub or spray it on and wash off about 15 seconds later. Make sure you use it in a well ventilated area. Tom

Oxalic acid compounded with a good boat wash. West Marine sells a pre-mix that contains oxalic acid and there are other manufacturers of oxalic acid washes.

Straight oxalic acid isn't a great idea as it's very corrosive and nasty crap. Get the mix.

Another suggestion it to try a product called Bartender's Friend.

Sno-Bowl or other toilet bowl cleaners will work well. Keith
